Case Study: Hayward’s Steel Fabrication delivers 17 wind towers for Mortlake Wind Farm with InfraBuild

Hayward’s Steel Fabrication delivers 17 wind towers in 6 months with InfraBuild

Hayward’s Steel Fabrication, a preeminent fabricator for large-scale infrastructure projects, faced significant logistical and manufacturing challenges in supplying 17 wind towers for the Mortlake Wind Farm. In partnership with InfraBuild, the project required processing approximately 5,000 tonnes of complex, bevelled steel plate with extremely tight tolerances and managing critical delivery schedules from an island state.

InfraBuild's Launceston Steel Centre supplied the specialized plate and provided extensive value-added processing, including precise profile cutting that required extensive testing for 22 different plate thicknesses. The vendor also upgraded its site cranes and building structure to handle the large components. This partnership, built on two decades of collaboration, successfully delivered the fabricated steel for the 157.5MW wind farm, a key project in meeting Victoria's renewable energy targets.
